55The space was wonderful, our dogs had a great time! Clean, spacious, dog bags + bin, big water bucket, shade and places to sit. A great feature was the double gate you typically see at dog parks to keep them entering/exiting safely. Will be visiting again! Elizabeth B.

55This spot was amazing! Valerie was a sweetheart and came out to say hello. Waffles loved having an opportunity to run around and sniff. This spot would be great for dogs with lots of energy, or for someone who likes to take it slow and spend their time sniffing at their leisure. We will definitely be back, it was well worth the drive from Daytona. Paige L.

55What a great playspace for dogs! Ours loved the wide-open space and the interesting interactive items. Very clean with plenty of turf so the dogs didn't get dusty or interested in digging. We hope to come back soon!Dorene T.

55Wide open room to run with just right amount of trees for shade. Secluded and peaceful setting to simply enjoy time with your dog. There are some sheep on property in adjacent fenced area but that was not an issue as they generally stayed quite a distance away to where our pups didn’t even know they were there. Definitely recommend this place especially if you have dogs that like to run and run and run.J D.

FAQ about our De Leon Springs dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the De Leon Springs area are 5 stars.
